Back To Malaysia

Post by Wystan:

As days goes by, its time for me to say bye bye. What I suppose to do has been done. Life here is not as easy as people think. People are just in their slumbers. This country-Africa, its seems like its been curse. Political issues rise everyday. Its not the same as in Malaysia. People here fight for their needs and shelter. Children are being left alone beside the streets like stray dogs without family. We always bring out the issue that states people in Africa are always hunger for food. Well, thats because not many people know the real life in here. Yes, not to deny that people here are hunger for food. But in Africa, people here are kind enough to offer u a loaf of bread. I wouldn't what life is outside Sudan, but I hope to explore that in the future. Even though life is tough here, yet people are still friendly. People around the streets are very friendly till a stage that you can make friends in just a seconds. Not like in Malaysia, people just walk their individual ways, heading to their own destination. Its totally different from Malaysia. Here, we can preach the gospel openly. We can just preach the gospel to the crowd, like what Jesus did. People will start asking question, and expect to get answers. In Malaysia, we cant do that. Therefore, I would like to say that middle east is a strategic place to preach the gospel and to do evangelism. But yet, everything there's a price to pay. Living a Christianity life in a muslim country is not easy. You would never know one day, people will just come up to you with a gun on your head.

Sudan would be a challenging place for me. Its a good experience in terms of physical and spiritual. I would like to share about my experience and stories if I had sufficient time. People shared testimony with me that would probably change my mindset.

So long Sudan. I will be back. If its mean to be, its meant to be. XD

Kaefa Halloke from Sudan!














Welcome!

This is our first post on "Life on the other side". Life on the other side is owned by both me (Paul Koh) and Wystan. We came up with this blog while we are traveling to the hot, dry, and dusty Sudan (we're still here as I write). We got bored due our inability to take pictures or shoot video because of some policies and the political instability. But it is indeed a good experience though, this trip gave us inspirations of crazy ideas and ingenious inventions! So, yes, we'll share it to you here, on this blog. Feel free to subscribe to this blog to follow our journey into the other side of life.

Cheers.
